Sky Sports to recruit Graeme Swann for World Twenty20?

Sky Sports have reportedly offered former England cricketer Graeme Swann a role working as part of their team for the World Twenty20 coverage in March.

The spinner will be available to take on a punditry position after retiring from international cricket midway through England's dismal Ashes series in Australia.

Swann underwent talks with sports chief Barney Francis in Sky's headquarters in Isleworth last week, according to the Daily Mail.

Reports have claimed that Francis initially stated after Swann announced his retirement that he would not add the bowler to the group of pundits, which include ex-England captain Andrew Strauss.
